I spent some time today with a friend of mine…George. He never knew his dad. At 13, he started selling drugs. At 16, he had two kids and murdered two people. He was convicted…spent the next 24 years in prison. He was released. Then went through a transition program where his heart and mind were completely transformed. He has a new mind-set—a new way of thinking. He’s now got a job. He’s involved in his kid’s lives—he’s now a father to his once fatherless kids.  Like George, we may be products of our past but we are not prisoners of our past. We too can have a new mind-set as parents. Here’s more about A Parenting Lesson from an Ex-Con.
